CadCraft 0.6 impact map

Every fix and feature lined up for 0.6, and what each one touches: which apps, and which layers of the stack. The layers are the ones on the Fork Map. 0.6 has shipped: this map keeps what it built, and every item that was not finished moved to 0.7.

  • Moved 0 moved from the 0.5 wishlist
  • Found 0 bug found after 0.5 shipped; 0.5.1 or 0.6
  • Candidate 0 recommended for 0.6 in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

Sheet 1 · impact areas

Sheet 2 · schedule

Every fix and feature

Grouped by track. App chips carry each app’s layer colour; Studio is in ink. "Waits on" names what has to happen first; the small lines under it say who asked and where the item is written up.

FeatureDC.114 Link to DC.114 BimCraft families on top of IFC types

Replicate Revit's family idea inside BimCraft: IFC has types (IfcElementType) and occurrences (IfcElement) but no families, so the family system lives in the app and maps to type-instance relations. Families keep a long type list manageable (one two-sided door in many sizes). A first family editor needs basic geometry operations, Booleans and visibility parameters; richer parametrics later.

FeatureDC.117 Link to DC.117 BimCraft views: crop, reflected ceiling plans, callouts, drafting lines and hatch

Next step after drafting walls and elements is laying out views, which takes BimCraft past a 3D modeling program. Asked for: a sophisticated view system. Floor plans with a cut plane, view range, crop region, scale, object visibility control and an underlay. Reflected ceiling plans, to place ceilings and ceiling-mounted fixtures. Callout views, each a child view derived from another view. Drafting lines and hatch regions in each of these views. Already built (DF.19): project browser, floor plans with a view range (cut height, top, bottom, depth), visibility by category and element, view templates, sheets you arrange. Not built: crop region, reflected ceiling plans, callout views, drafting lines and hatch in a view, detail views and legends; per-view scale and underlay to be checked. Session bim-views_PART_2 spikes first, then the owner picks the cut line.
